Recently I did a model to help understand and experiment with transmission line effects for a dipole antenna using ladder lines and twin-lead balanced lines versus coaxial types. However mono-poles and dipoles offer marginal performance for RF gain and therefore a user has to compensate with higher power amplifiers and much more complicated receivers.

By graduating to a directional form of antenna, only then can real RF performance be achieved and help to reduce the problems of excessive power, poor reception, longer distances, better signal-to-noise, and the quality of the signals heard.

I would like to start creating directional antenna models and was curious what interests that you might have as recommendations for type, size, elements, gain, frequency or bands, and materials .

Please comment below as I would like to take a poll to see what most people would like to see - thank you very much !
